Man charged in NY shooting of 9 to be extradited

NYC man charged in shooting that injured 9 people to be extradited from Maine

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — Maine law enforcement officials say a man wanted in connection with the shooting that injured nine people in New York City will be extradited to face charges.

Officials said 25-year-old Parris Peterson-Lloyd was arrested early Sunday on the Maine Turnpike in Litchfield. He waived extradition on Tuesday.

Police say Peterson-Lloyd and another man already in custody, 24-year-old Tyrone Brown, are suspects in a June 30 shooting in Brooklyn's Flatbush section. Police believe the gunfire erupted after someone was asked to leave a party or was not allowed in. The victims suffered a range of minor injuries.

In Maine, Peterson-Lloyd was a passenger in a car that was pulled over by a trooper. There were two others in the car; neither was charged in the connection with the shooting.
